Mill Creek Hybrid, Part 4- Making Pinstripes

April 15, 2018 / skern5 / 0 Comments
Host and pinstripe strips sawed and ready for gluing
Resawing Alaskan Yellow Cedar bead-and-cove into 1/16″ strips. Will be sawing 20 7′ walnut strips in half lengthwise as well then making a delicious wood sandwich
Glue, clamp, tape to free up clamps, repeat.

Almost-finished pinstripes ready for sanding. Wish I had a planer.

This is my bike.

There are many like it but this one is mine. My bike is my best friend. I must master it as I must master my life. My bike, without me, is useless. Without my bike, I am useless. I must ride my bike true. I WILL..

My bike and myself know that what counts in this life is not the miles we ride, the order of our finish, nor the prizes we win. We know that it is the ride that counts. WE WILL RIDE…

My bike is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its drivetrain and its brakes. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my bike clean and ready. We will become part of each other. WE WILL…
